Customer Review: Disappointed- Never Buy This Product
I purchased this GPS 2 years ago and was extremely thrilled to see the features that this GPS/PDA system contains. However, I was extremely disappointed with the system and would suggest nobody to consider it for purchase in future. It takes forever to connect to the satellite, responds slowly and often after the wrong turn has been taken, loses signal every now and then, hangs in the middle of the road and has even started updating maps in the middle of the drive- a huge safety hazard because you have to turn on the GPS again after the updates have been installed while driving. The GPS does not take the addresses from the address book correctly and tends to misguide you. Garmin is unhelpful on this and often unresponsive. Beware of this product and its nice looks.
Customer Review: Best in the market
It is about 1.5 year that I have my iQue m3 GPS/PDA.
This is the most easy to use GPS ever. I spend one year to find something close to this for my gf who has no interest on gadgets but nothing worked like this for her, so I purchased another one. M3 “Garmin” is the only GPS I could relay on in my trips to VI, Costs and even Germany. Best thing is that you can walk and bike and still get the directions.
Apart of a GPS it is a pocket PC with lots of uses such as MS Word and Excel that I need. The only problem was lack of memory capacity that I simply used my cell phone memory and works perfect.
